    hopeless, just rev the piss out of it, alternatively, put in a 4age, using ae86/ae71 crossmember.

    theres a whole tutorial on how to do it in the engine conversion section.

    i beleive my mate did it for under $700-$800

    $300 for the engine, tranny was free, intake/exhaust manifolds were $20 each or something rediculous, the rest was spent on a T-18 diff, tailshaft, fuel tank, pedal box, crossmember, lines, fluids etc.

    My original KE70 conversion costed about $1880 and that was with a free gearbox.. I'm selling an AE71 conversion pack for $300, pm if you're interested (crossmembers, clutch setup and pedal box, gearbox).

    Cheers,

    From memory, mine cost me $400 for engine, loom, ECU, manifolds, etc., $200 for an AE71 to nick the parts out of, much of the rest of it was stuff I had in my backyard junkpile, and a few $ for things like hoses etc.

    you *could* work the 4k but there really is no point. Like the others said go for a 4age or 4agze - Youll get a far better car out of it.
